MORE NICE WORDS FROM OUR GUESTS

What a fantastic addition to Badminton!

Our owners stayed at the Badminton retreat and we joined them for dinner one night. It was fantastic not to have to get in a car but be able to cycle up to the Huntsmans Close site. There was a wonderful atmosphere, with a beautifully laid out bar.
The dinner was delicious. What a fantastic addition to Badminton!”

Alice Fox-Pitt ne Plunkett

A really cool experience!

The Badminton retreat is certainly the way to do Badminton if you’re looking for comfort, style and brilliant hospitality! I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, the food was outstanding and the atmosphere was relaxed. Also in a great spot for viewing the XC. A really cool experience!”

Millie Dumas; 5 Star Rider Badminton 2019

Nothing was too much trouble

Our visit to Badminton this year was beyond our expectations having booked into “The Badminton Retreat”. The atmosphere in the bar and restaurant was fabulous, not to mention the delicious food. Nothing was too much trouble and we loved being able to have friends drop in and join us for dinner, a G&T or just afternoon tea, while watching the live action on the screens or highlights of the day. The most comfortable beds and only a very short walk to everything was a bonus. “

I will definitely be staying at The Retreat again!!

Staying at The Badminton Retreat was just a great place, being actually on site as opposed to the owners car park was just brilliant – such easy access with the golf buggies. Accommodation and facility’s are fantastic and the bar was a great place to unwind after a day walking around the course or endless shopping and discuss the days activities around a fire pit was just perfect!

I will definitely be staying at The Retreat again!!”

Perfectly located

We had such a great time at The Badminton Retreat. It was beautifully set up, with really comfortable beds and excellent facilities and entertainment. The restaurant was fantastic – the perfect space for meeting people and enjoying great food and drinks. The Retreat is perfectly located with easy access to the trot-up and stables, making it very convenient for owners wishing to check in on their horses and meet riders in the restaurant. Having car parking on site and immediate access to the road made it simple to get to. I can wholly recommend it!”
